| Tube integrated amp suggestions for Proac2 Which power tubes are you using? | |
| Anyone compare the Simaudio I-5LE to the I-5.3? The I-5 sounded beautiful, and was the most tube-like solid state integrated that I've heard. Lots of detail with no harshness. Built like a tank. I haven't heard the LE, so I don't know how much different it might be. | |
| Salk HT3 vs Sonus Faber Domus Grand Piano I heard the Salk HT3 in several homes, and probably I'm going to buy a pair. I'd put them in them in the same class as the Vandersteen 5A, and though I'm not familiar with the SF Grand Pianos, I doubt these compete with the Salks. | |
| Cary SLI 80 owners ... how do you have it tubed ? Tungsol roundplate 6SN7, Tungsol blackplate 6550 and RCA 5U4G rectifiers | |
| Favorite Tube Speaker Match I've heard and owned several ceramic composite cones with tube amps,i.e., the ceramic metal matrix diaphragms in the Infinity Intermezzo 2.6 and Prelude MTS with the Cary SLI-80. With the right tubes, these are glorious combinations. My advice is ... | |
| Best 6550's for ARC VT-100 MK3 amp- SED; Tungsol?? Sutts:The EAD's are just rebranded and marked-up run-of-the-mill tubes -- EAD is doesn't manufacture tubes. Don't waste your money.

| speaker recomendation Recommend the Infinity Intermezzo 2.6 for excellent bass and flat frequency response, if you can find a pair. Get the active version with RABOS, not the passive version. | |
| SUBWOOFER ADVICE NEEDED Shop around for a used Infinity 1.2s subwoofer with RABOS and 850 watt BASH amplifier. It's no longer in production, but cost $2000 new, and if you can find one, it should be under $1000. In general, avoid ported designs. | |
| Your vote: Most Useless Audio Adjective 'Simply' or 'in a word' -- a cliche that is used to preface another cliche, for instance "in a word, astonishing!" BTW: 'astonishing' is another good candidate for most worthless audio word of the century. | |
| Which KT88s for Cary SLI-80? Buy a quad of Penta Labs' solid-plate Shuguang KT88's. This is a copy of the famous Genelex KT88. Price was $29 each, last time I checked, and it's a wonderful tube for the SLI-80. | |
| Longer Power Cords Sound better? Matty:Which batteries sound best?How many batteries is best?Are there audiophile battery posts?:):):):):) LOL | |
| Tube Substitution Okay? Sure. Just check the bias before using the Cayin. | |
| Would spikes help me? Raising the height of the tweeterrelative to your ear will brighten the high frequencies. | |
| Tube Test Results Yeah, sorta like the morning after :) | |
| Tube Test Results Never had that happen, but it won't blow up. You'll notice it though. Probably the amp will sound weak and/or bloaty. |
